Site Basics Plan
Our Site Basics plan is ideal for experienced WordPress website owners. You understand how important your website is to your business and are confident in making minor content changes. Let us take care of the website maintenance and hosting for you—it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Is This Plan For Me?
Your website is a huge asset to your business. It’s like a shop window – it tells your potential clients exactly how you can help them – and why they need your business. It’s usually the first time your customer learns about who you are.
But what if your shop window was broken?
WordPress sites are great. They suit a wide range of businesses and industries. However, they do need regular maintenance. Both WordPress and plugin developers are continuously making updates to fix issues, streamline software and close off security vulnerabilities.
Without this maintenance, your website is at risk of hacking. You know the type of thing, where you see adverts for fake sunglasses or worse…
This in turn could impact your business’s reputation and could even lead to Google delisting your site from search results.
How much would being offline impact your business? If a customer is on your website and sees something that isn’t appropriate, would they come back and check if you’ve fixed the problem? Or would they click off your website and head for one of your competitors?
What message is that sending to your customers?
You work tirelessly on your business. You want your whole brand to look as slick and professional as possible.
You don’t want a poorly maintained website to ruin your hard work.
That is where we come in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Design
Q: How long does it take to build a website?
A: We can build a website in as little as a week.
Q: Will my site look like my competitors?
A: No, unlike some of our competitors, we don’t limit your choices to a few generic templates. We will customise every template to perfectly fit your brand.
Q: Can I change the images?
A: Of course, you can supply your own images and/or find stock images you can use that will fit the design
Q: Can I change the layout?
A: Absolutely. You have full control over how you’ll site will look to make it perfectly fit your personality & brand.
Q: I don’t have a brand (or I don’t want to use it). Is this a problem?
A: It depends. We can build using what you have already but you might want our designers to create something fresh and new, from a simple logo redraw up to a full rebrand.Ordering & Payments
Q: Can I order and pay online each month?
A: Yes. All plan payments are online via Direct Debit
Q: Can I pay in full instead of Direct Debit?
A: Sure. Drop us a message and we’ll send you an invoice
Q: Who actually owns the website?
A: During the first year, we retain ownership of the site (not your content) until the balance is paid off. At this point, website ownership transfers to you. If paying in full, the site is owned by you from the start
Q: What happens after the first year?
A: If you’d like us to continue managing, hosting and supporting your website then you’ll move to a Care Plan. If , instead, you are leaving us at that stage (we’ve not had one yet) we’ll package and supply your site for you to transfer to your new provider.
Q: Are there any additional costs?
A: No. Our Website Plan prices are all published and fixed. Should your requirements change during the build there may be additional work needed and this will be discussed with you at the time if it requires an adjustment to your monthly fee.Maintenance
